@boomzilla Is that a list of all posts in the topic, and you click those? Or do you click elsewhere and that's a list of the ones you have clicked?
Is the post ID even visible elsewhere? How would you know which post 882353 is?

@aliceif Exactly! Discourse at least had "select + replies". I want "Select recursive: Every reply to this post, every reply to those replies, and so on down the whole chain"

Discourse actually tracked replies to posts. Not sure how difficult that would be in NodeBB. I mean, it does have that thing, but it can only point to one post and it may not necessarily even be correct. Tracking actual replies to posts would probably be almost impossible since they're actually just an @‍mention with some extra syntactical sugar.

I would go with "quite", since it would effectively mean parsing the post content for links (which are topic-relative for some reason), match the current post, then for posts that match, rinse and repeat all the way down.

...tested and it appears that it does, at least, make the numbers count backward instead of forward if you sort from "Newest to Oldest", so the links still work in that view. But if you sort by "Most Votes", they break horribly.

...fuuuuuuuuuuuck. So effectively, anyone who chooses to sort by "Most Votes" is living in limbo-land where the numbers don't mean the same thing as they do here.

I move to disable "Most Votes" sorting entirely. Does anyone actually use that? I realize we're breaking the workflow of the guy who was rapidly changing it back and forth to heat his cubicle, but does anybody legitimately use it?

At least until someone can figure out how to switch from these relative post links to something that doesn't change with the tides?

I guess it could be useful for suggestion threads or code challenges ..?

I run into this quite frequently.

A very large portion of my career falls under the category of "Management is not amused".

@El_Heffe It's fixed for new replies, but that's not going to fix old stuff.

What about notifications? When I click on the link it doesn't always take me to my post that was mentioned or upvoted. Sometimes it's only off by a couple of posts, sometimes it drops me into No-Mans-Land where there is no post of mine in site.
